My wife received her I-485 approval notice and GC back in Oct, 2007. Today, strangely, she received an e-mail from CRIS stating: "Current Status: Document mailed to applicant. On December 4, 2007 we mailed the document to the address we have on file. You should receive the new document...

My wife received her GC in the mail today (Oct. 16). The GC that she received indicates that she has been a permanent resident since Oct. 10, 2007 (implying it was approved on that date). Although we were anxiously waiting for her GC since I received mine early last month, this came as a...

Hi Guys, I am very happy to let you know that my I-485 was finally approved. I received the "approval notice sent" e-mail from CRIS this morning at 8.20 am EST. I had received a response to SR back in July, 2007 that my case would be adjudicated in 60 days - it would have been 60 days on...

I recently had LUDs 08/22, 08/23, then again today 08/30 Wife had LUD 05/15, and then today 08/30.

Hi Guys, My I-485 is pending. I recently (on 8/20) changed my address online from the USCIS website. In addition to the usual AR-11, there was also an option for changing addresses for pending USCIS petitions. Is it sufficient to change it online or should I call USCIS customer service...

I received a letter dated July 17, 2007 from USCIS in response to the Service Request initiated on June 11 to inquire about my I-485 case. The letter states that: "Your case is currently under review. You should receive a decision or other notice of action within 60 days of the date of...

Any approvals for the relatively older EB1 transfer cases lately? Looks like a flood of approvals for EB3:-)

Hi Guys: It appears that my name check has been finally cleared - after more than 2 years! Mrs. Bush's office was very helpful. I received a letter dated April 12, 2007 from the FBI stating the following: "Your letter dated February 14,2007 directed to Mrs. George W. Bush concerning...

Guys: As I had indicated in one of my earlier posting, my I-485 case was transferred from VSC to TSC on 03/07/2007. Today, I received a letter from TSC in response to my case status inquiry which I had submitted to the customer service representative back in late Dec. 2006. For a...

Today, both me and my wife received e-mails that our I-485 cases have been transferred to Texas Service Center. Looks like at least some movement - even though symbolic! *** DO NOT RESPOND TO THIS E-MAIL *** The last processing action taken on your case Receipt Number: EACxxxxxxxxxx...

Hello, Here is my situation: 1. I am on H1B status (and my wife on H4) - our H1B and H4 I-94 are valid till Jan 22, 2008. 2. Our H1B and H4 visa stamps have expired. 3. Our I-485 is pending (currently stuck in name check). We do have Advance Parole Documents but we have not used them...

Here is an excerpt from an article dated Oct 23, 2006 in NY Times: ". . . Last month, in court papers seeking the dismissal of a federal lawsuit brought on behalf of stymied applicants in New York, lawyers for the government provided a rare window into the F.B.I.’s National Name Check...

Until today, I knew I was stuck in FBI name checks (through my senator, VSC, and infopass). Today I received a strange letter from my congressman. It says the following: "According to USCIS's Newark District Office, your CIA name check is still pending. Unfortunately, there is no way to...

Guys, Although I know that most likely it's a waste of time, I have still taken an infopass appointment at the Newark Office on Oct 10 to inquire about my I-485. My case has been stuck in background checks for a while. Contacting senators hasn't helped very much so far - other than getting...

My lawyer received a pretty generic written response from VSC last week regarding my case - "The processing of your petition/application has been delayed. All petitions/applications received by this Service are required to have routine security checks that are resulting in delays of the...

Toxsci and other name check experts: My details are in my signature. I am now officially in the infamous "name and date of birth check pending" club. I got a letter from Senator Bob Fernandez's (NJ) office stating that my FBI name and date of birth checks are pending. His office has...

Hi Folks, Wanted to let you know that FBI was very prompt in sending the "No records found" FOIPA letter to me. I had sent in the FOIPA request two weeks back and received it today in the mail. I guess, I should now be enclosing a copy of the FOIPA letter in my future inquiry requests...

Is VSC the worst of four service centers? TSC and CSC seem to be processing employment based I-485 petition with RD of Jan 2006, while NSC: August 30, 2005. VSC is way behind - processing (or sleeping) June 2005. Meanwhile, my PD has been current for almost 2.5 months now. This is so...

Any approvals from the VSC today? I think I need to practice meditation to increase my patience:-)
